F-F-W-W: Fambonga Fatundu Wamba window village changers ministry

FAMBONGA-FATUNDU-WAMBA Window: a village changer ministry.






Trip objective

I’m going to synergize conference in Atlanta because it’s intended for people willing to become « history makers and world shakers» just as your organization has been doing for several decades. I want my life to count for the Lord. In Atlanta, I will learn from some leading pastors worldwide how to reach a single community in DRCongo the Lord has laid on our heart, my wife and I. I will also seek to connect with right peole willing to endorse this vision. I will expose myself to something new to be touched and led by the Holy Spirit. This represents a real shift of my life because my basic training includes a MD and PhD degrees. For several years I worked as pathologist and full professor at the university of Kinshasa. However, my life shifted since 1985 when I gave my life to Christ and immediately received an audible calling to become a fisher of men the same year. Hence my deep involvement in trainings, discipleships trainings, ministry and so on. In 2000, I founded an Internet ministry: lecaf ministries international aimed to advance the kingdom of God through Internet and promote prayer networks. I'm praying the Eliezer prayer for success for my trip. Please, pray with me. We feel that we are really standing at the starting line for the rest of our lives

The vision in brief

We have identified a spiritual neglected window of darkness of about 100 villages in a remote part of Congo, about 450Km away from Kinshasa, the capital town. We called it the F-F-W-W which stands for Fambonga-Fatundu-Wamba Window (yollow dots figure)


The Lord instructed us to move with Him in this window.

We want to occupy and saturate the window by building prayer altars according to Abraham model in Genesis 12:7. We want to light this window, redeem the land and do the ministry of reconciliation with God. To this goal, we would like to train locally hundreds of native missionnaries right there and saturate this geographical area with dynamic God’s presence. Native missionaries will be qualified to carry community health evengelism and bring societal transformation along the UN millenium objectives.

We need to hook up with like-minded people like to make known this window, mobilize prayer and support to implement the ministry church planting saturation in rural areas. We will develop the concept of adoption of 100 villages by 100 churches, and individual from a single area abroad who will adopt individuals in those villages in the FFFW.

We base our vision on Luke 19:10: "For the son of man came to seek and to save what was lost"

We want to help him just doing that.

Craig Stewart, from The Warehouse, a poverty-alleviation project in Cape Town, writes, " We have been learning that when God calls you somewhere it is actually an invitation to join Him in what He is doing in the world. In our arrogance we believed that God’s calling on our lives was to take Him to the places He called us. We have been discovering the joy that the call is actually an invitation to join in with the work that He is already doing, that when I am who I am calls you somewhere, He will be there.
